Valentine’s schmalentines: a freebie and a giveaway

[CONGRATS to JessRawk of Ottawa for being picked FIRST in the draw; she's chosen a squid tee as her prize. I'm still waiting to hear back from the runners-up... will post results soon.

I have mixed feelings about Valentine’s, mainly because I can’t believe how quick the Christmas lights get replaced with pink heart garlands these days.

FREEBIE

So I got to doodling tonight, and came up with this grumpy fellow…

No chocolates or rosepetals for this dude, no surprise picnic at the planetarium. If you’d like to keep him company (or if you’d like for him to keep yours), feel free to download and use him as your desktop wallpaper*. The actual jpg is 1024 x 768 pixels, so you may need to ’stretch to fit’ your monitor.

GIVEAWAY

It’s been a really terrific couple of weeks in my corner, and this purple grump has me in a giving mood.

love the cheesy card. mainly because i strive to give the cheesiest gifts i can find. and this card would go perfect with them. i mean. not that the card itself is cheesy. it’s just called cheesy. and i think it’s grate.

(hahahaha! yes. i just punned. and i laughed at myself for doing so. cheesy.)

I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day, so I love your purple grump. I also wanted to tell you that I first explored etsy because of you. I had heard of it, but never bothered checking it out until I saw your stuff. It’s amazing!

On that note, my favourite thing in your shop would have to be the greeting cards, especially Woof, Ted and Spotty.

Oh no! You’re on etsy? I’m an esty fanatic . . . I spend way too much money there. Just checked out your shop and I LOVE the Seasonings Greetings card – it’s so cute! Also love Woof – any chance he’ll make it to a tshirt someday?

Valentine’s schmalentines is fitting. I was informed yesterday that in 24 years I’ve never done anything for Valentines! Could be true, but you figure I might have weakened once. Not a fan of “Halmark Holidays” in principle.

‘Course I usually save it all up for our Anniversary that happens on the 16th! The time I bought flowers at lunch on the 15th I got lots of razzing heading back into work until I said they were for Anniv. Quickly turned all those Nyyyaaa’s into Aaaawwwws :-) :-).

Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored to tears at work so
I decided to browse your website on my iphone during lunch break.
I really like the information you provide here and can’t wait
to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised at how fast your blog loaded
on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G ..
